How To Show Battery Level Percentage on Status Bar on Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Q. I have recently purchased a New Smartphone that came with Android Marshmallow pre-installed that’s just amazing for the experience. The new phone’s camera is the best thing I like about it but certainly after recording a lot of videos, the battery goes dead and the small indicator on the top is useless to me. Can you help me in showing a percentage on the top of the Notifications bar on my phone.

A. Android Marshmallow 6.0 is the latest version of the Android which was launched by Google in the month of August. It comes with a lot of hidden features when compared to that of the Android 5.1 lollipop.
